Chapter 2: Supernatural Ability

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A deep sense of powerlessness stifled Samuel.

It was indeed suffocating without money.

Suddenly, a piece of information appeared in his mind.

[Character: Karen Pate, 40 years old, landlady.]

[Secret: Married Andrew Dotson and gave birth to two sons, both of whom are not Andrew’s biological children. The eldest son’s father was once a neighbor, Shane Warren. The second son’s father is a tenant, Rodney Best.]

Samuel’s expression was dull, but his heart was in turmoil.

How did this information appear in my mind? Could it be some kind of superpower?

Is this information accurate?

His silence, in Karen’s eyes, was a sign of submission. She snorted and said, “I’m helping you, so don’t be ungrateful! Start work today, okay?”

Samuel let out a long sigh. Whether the information was accurate or not, he would know after trying.

“Do you still remember Shane Warren?” Samuel asked.

Karen’s pupils shrank slightly. She frowned and questioned, “Who’s that?”

“What? Have you forgotten your eldest son’s father?” Samuel looked at her with a burning gaze.

Karen’s expression suddenly changed. She looked at Samuel in disbelief. This happened 20 years ago, and even her husband didn’t know about it. How did this rascal know?

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Karen scolded.

Looking at her fierce reaction, Samuel was stunned. The information was apparently true! In that case, his ability to read minds… was also real!

“I’m talking nonsense? Then, do you still remember Rodney Best?” Samuel asked again.

At this moment, Karen couldn’t hold on any longer. She stood up abruptly, widened her eyes, and shouted at him, “Just who are you?”

“You don’t need to know who I am. As long as you don’t provoke me, I bring these secrets to my grave. But if you don’t know how to appreciate favors, then I’ll tell your husband!” Samuel retorted.

Karen didn’t dare to let her husband know about her past. Otherwise, not only would she leave the household with nothing, but she might also be beaten to death.

“You… I’m telling you, you have to continue paying the rent!” Karen feared pestering Samuel anymore. She pointed at him and said some harsh words before rushing out the door.

After Karen left, Samuel excitedly waved his fist in the air.

This mysterious ability might be his chance to counterattack!

Ring—

The phone rang, interrupting Samuel’s thoughts.

He lifted it and saw that it was an unknown number.

He picked up the call and heard a pleasant female voice. “Hello, is this Mr. Walker?”

“I am, and you are?”

“I’m the General Manager of Ruby Liquor Factory, Arielle Bright. I saw your resume today, applying to be our salesperson. May I know when you can come for an interview?”

Interview information!

Samuel’s heart skipped a beat. Although this ability that suddenly appeared was impressive, he couldn’t possibly write this on his resume, right? He didn’t have any work experience on his resume, so he basically wouldn’t have an interview for a good job.

He might as well give it a try at the liquor factory.

Having made up his mind, Samuel hurriedly said, “I’m free today.”

“Can you make it at eleven in the morning? If not, you can come in the afternoon,” Arielle asked.

“No problem. Eleven is perfect.”

“Alright. I’ll send the interview information to your phone later. Give me a call when you’re here,” Arielle said in a friendly tone.

A few minutes after hanging up the phone, Samuel received a message from her. It contained the address and interview information of the liquor factory.

Samuel changed into a clean set of clothes and left.

On the way, to test his new ability, Samuel’s gaze landed on the pedestrians.

However, the information in his mind indicated that they had nothing to do with him.

Could it be that I can’t see the secrets of strangers?

Samuel passed by a small supermarket and walked in. “Boss, give me a pack of gum please.”

“Sure, that would be a dollar.” A fatty took out a pack of chewing gum and placed it on the counter.

At that moment, a message appeared in Samuel’s mind.

[Character: Dale Gilbert, 42 years old, owner of Dale’s Supermarket.]

[Secret 1: His car’s license plate is fake.]

[Secret 2: Selling both real and fake tobacco and alcohol at the supermarket.]

Because they lived close to each other, Samuel often came to this supermarket and would chat with the boss. From his understanding of the boss, his name and age were basically accurate. But he never expected that this simple-looking man would actually dare to do such illegal things.

After quietly paying, Samuel had a better understanding of his supernatural ability.

If it was someone who had crossed paths with him, he would be able to see the other party’s secret. However, if it was a stranger, he wouldn’t be able to see anything.

Taking a deep breath, a smile appeared on Samuel’s face. If he could make good use of this ability, earning his father’s life-saving money wouldn’t be a fool’s dream.
